This six-week session introduces children to the natural world beyond their backyard. Classes will create and encourage a connection to the outdoor world by examining a fun and unique topic each week including trees, animal homes, birds, the forest floor, and seasonal changes.

Each morning will begin with a story or poem as an introduction, followed by a discovery walk.

The budding naturalists will finish with an artful creation related to the day’s adventure. For ages 4 – 6. Classes begin Tuesday, September 22 at Merrimac Farm.
